mini high school reunion. more like mini high school people-watch.
so last weekend, i went to an auction that raises money for scholarships in Cory
O'Brien's name. Cory( pictured above, on the left) was a good friend in high school and the boyfriend of my best friend, Kirsten. tragically,
cory died on August 16
th, 2004 from acute interstitial pneumonia. each year, family, friends, and people in the community get together for a golf tournament and auction to raise money for a graduating
high school student that will attend
WSU. i finally went this year, and had a great time.
this is
kirsten and her momma.
doesnt her mom look so great? there were so many people there that i
havent seen in a long time. it was so fun to catch up!
ummm. so i was a
wittle over-dressed. i asked
kirsten what she was planning on wearing to the thing, and she laughed and said "i never plan that kinda stuff". so i just wore this new dress of mine, figuring i would fit right in at the Country Club. well, lets just put it this way, everyone else had just finished a rigorous game of golf in the 90 degree heat. pretty sure i was the only one in heels and gold lame. (not lame gold but la-may)
so, as
alluded to in the title of this blog, there were a lot of people there from high school. let me just say right now, that i have some issues. one of them being, i have a hard time going up to people (even (kinda
especially) if i know them) and starting up conversations. i have no idea why, i guess i just dread the always awkward "goodbyes" (like let's say that the conversation has come to its end..... what excuse do you use to walk away?). so i avoid the situations all together. anyway, boring tangent, but it does explain why i said "people watching". because for the most part i just peeked around the ballroom, looking at people i recognized. except for
clayton.
clayton is an all around good time (as evidenced in the picture above). i have no phobia of awkward conversation with him. however, when he asked me what my husband was doing these days, and i said "oh, he's in
UW dental school"
clayton said under his breath "figures". what is that all about?
